I’ve been doing some general bug fixing of the Specfile Editor today and noticed that we had some problems with partitioning the document. We had defined 4 types of partitions for spec files:
- Files (for a single %files section)
- Scriptlets (i.e. %post, %prep, etc.)
- Changelog
- Default (for everything that is not one of the above)
What I noticed is that the default partition never got used, instead the IDocument.DEFAULT_CONTENT_TYPE partition was used for this. After digging through the code for a while and “fixing” what seemed to be the places that caused this, I ended up completely foobaring the partitioner.
Turns out that the Eclipse Text framework doesn’t support having a different default partition, and will happily barf in your lap if you try to force it.
Morale of the story children: Don’t $@!% with IDocument.DEFAULT_CONTENT_TYPE.
